I remember him. He came to my house once delivering a mobile phone he got me a discount on from CPW. His coop sounded well.
I wonder if he has a Skoda VRS yet?

As others have said, someone who really would go the extra mile to help out others. Will, if you happen to read this - hi; and you'll have to pop down for dinner again some time! ... matey

I remember seeing his LPG coop at a SE meet, a Vinci right? The perfect everyday coop, but didnt someone steal his LPG fuel cap cover?
Hope he's doing well.

I remember seeing his LPG coop at a SE meet, a Vinci right? Pretty sure it was Murple - sounded great (blueflame, IIRC) but it was a bit "well-worn" Pretty sure it was the first forum car over 200,000 miles though, so it had a half-decent excuse

Yes, he got a new girlfriend who did not like this place, he has not logged on since his last post back in 2007! Strange attitude. Ms RK thinks I'm sad spending so much time on here , but she doesn't see a problem with me talking to all the other "saddoes" To be fair she did agree to let me weigh her head! Of course I could be on Facebook tracking down old girlfriends (unfortunately old in both contexts) As for KP, it's all been said, he helped my brother with a CPW problem, not knowing either of us

The vinci conversion was probably Luke's at the time of the SE meet. Can't remember what his moniker was on here - unless it was Luke.

he was a legend on here for helping people out!! I remember he was dropping off and picking up some parts from London / Essex way and offered to travel further down to Tunbridge Wells to pick up a Zender Front Bumper for me. I couldn't (and still can't) believe he did this - the deal couldn't possibly have gone ahead without Will doing that. As has been said; top bloke and sadly missed. I remember him saying it was time for him to leave the Forum behind and start the next phase of his life. Wherever you are Will, I hope life's treating you well and you're as happy as the last time I saw you.

I can reveal at this point that I have recently bumped into KP and he has "authorised" me to say hello on his behalf, so Hi to everyone. He's still much the same as ever, and a prolific poster "elsewhere", although current whereabouts remain classified!

Well Im not doing to bad main reason for my leaving in the first place is now in the skanks bin and im dragging her through the courts which is a PITA crossing the country for it all but worth it to give back some of the pain she has given me and led to me leaving (long story and i'll copy n paste it over sometime!) I have a nipper as well so in the same boat as Pinin(shocking you have grown up! What happened to Malc and the Coop that never left the garage?!?) Im back in warrington most of the time now and moved on to an L322 TD6 Range Rover that i use offroad a lot and boy does it cope well with it! Spent saturday doing wayfarers, corwen carwash and loads of other NW lanes with MORC Also trying to join NW4*4Response as part of my growing up more as i'd rather help people out when the weather gets bad than play in the snow all day. After the coop it was a string of Xantias, Veg oiled, then BioD only ones then an Activa(miss it badly for out cornering various lotus and porkas..) and then car free for almost a year as i had one almost all the time from work, then thought i wanted comfort and so forth so get the Fattie as i call it Good to see that STAN finally FINALLY over took my postings though now i have given you a 5year head start i think i need to get my title back so i reckon 40k by the end of jan should do it Glad your all still here, even JonnyBravo!! C2D sorry about your coop? Was it that bad? I've found a good manc body shop that repairs some of the most shocking cars you've seen post crash but the work they do i'd go as far as to say its better than the day it came off the line as they never scrap a car if an owner can afford to repair But anyway Im back andwill be popping in often to have a nosey as i still have some coop bits left though not much if anyone needs them

For some odd reason I got an email about this thread yesterday instead of ages ago!
Anyways...
Oven has since been replaced T, always seemed to cook quicker after the caliper bake but I did run it at full bore for an hour, glad I didn't pay the electric bill back then...
I see a few coops around cheadle and Warrington and always miss mine, the sound of it was amazing on full chat, and even worse the videos of it I can no longer find ;-(
I have however got another activa that's been tweaked a little but I won't be going coop crazy with this. My Fattie (l322) is also going as soon as I finish repairs and tidying it up it's getting a weekend with my local expert detailer and then replaced by a cheap WJ jeep either a 4.7 or hemi V8 if I can find one as they make an amazing noise!
The current daily motor is a nice Citroen XM 2.5 TD estate in green. And yes it runs on veg and gets between 44-56mpg most of the time and has a massive boot for all the tree chopping I do for friends and the like.
Had anyone seen or heard of my coop since I sold it? Or know of any video links still alive to it's lovely sound?
